Corporate welfare doesn't live up to the repugican hype. What's so hard about admitting that these programs don't work and trying something else?
But even Wal-Mart, Publix, Kraft Foods and other corporate giants have had trouble meeting job goals.
New data shows Florida has signed contracts worth $1.7 billion since 1995 in return for promises of 225,000 new jobs. But only about one-third of those jobs have been filled while the state has paid out 43 percent of the contracts.
That averages out to $10,237 per job.
